Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Emirates have expanded their interline agreement to provide seamless connectivity via Cebu and Clark.
Under the agreement, Emirates passengers will have access to domestic points in PAL’s network via Cebu and Clark, adding to the previously announced interline connections via Manila last March.
Covering all three gateways in the Philippines served by Emirates — Manila, Cebu and Clark — this partnership expansion will provide seamless connectivity for passengers to reach even more destinations in the Philippines using a single ticket and a convenient baggage policy.
Emirates passengers can enjoy a convenient booking process to destinations in PAL’s network, including Bacolod, Butuan, Cagayan De Oro, Davao, Iloilo, Caticlan and Puerto Princesa via Cebu; as well as Cebu, Caticlan and Busuanga via Clark.
Passengers may also fly on PAL flights via Dubai to connect seamlessly to Emirates’ network to cities in Europe, Africa and other parts of the Middle East.
PAL passengers will benefit from the enhanced interline agreement and book Emirates-operated flights to Amman, Birmingham, Cape Town, Dammam, Dublin, Lisbon, Manchester, Muscat and Riyadh via Dubai.
The expansion comes months after PAL and Emirates first announced their interline agreement, reaffirming the commitment of both airlines to serve growing demand by providing travelers with more choice and flexibility, as well as enhanced customer experiences.
Last March, the two airline operators signed an interline agreement to expand the connectivity of both air carriers to new points via Manila and Dubai.
PAL has provided Emirates’ passengers access to 19 domestic destinations that it operates, including Cotabato, Davao, Iloilo, Kalibo and more, as well as two Asian regional points via Manila.
PAL’s passengers, on the other hand, will benefit from access to Emirates’ global network and seamlessly connect to 21 cities operated by Emirates
PAL first served the Middle East in 1947 and has been serving the United Arab Emirates since 1982. The Philippine flag carrier now operates 24 weekly flights to three countries in the Middle East, along with the nonstop services across the Pacific Ocean to gateways in the East and West Coasts of both Canada and the United States.
Emirates has been flying to the Philippines since 1990 and currently operates 25 weekly flights to Manila, Cebu and Clark. The airline is the only air carrier to offer a First-Class product on flights to Manila, serving premium travellers in the market. With 29 codeshare and 110 interline partners, Emirates’ global footprint encompasses destinations far beyond its own network, offering increased connectivity and convenient options for travelers.
